    Re: Auctions. This car will be bought by a used car dealer for $4k, and then put on a used car lot and sold to some poor soul who will finance the car at 10% interest rate, and pay $12k for it. They will drive it for a few months until the fuel pumps fail, and then not have $5k to fix it, nor will they be able to pay off the $12k loan and will have no car to drive to work.
    Meanwhile a fan of the show who knows the issue and cost with full disclosure would buy it as a second car, and fix it while only paying $4k for the car.
    Hoovie - you’re sending some poor soul literally in to bankruptcy by selling it at auction.

    • @gasfiltered
      @gasfiltered 4 роки тому +22

      You can rebuild the pumps pretty cheap, ~$200 or so, Tyler just needed a good story. If you finance a car with no warranty, you do so knowing the second you sign the paper that it could fail before you pull off the lot. Don't finance cars. Ever. And even the shadiest bank won't finance a 13 year old BMW. A buy-here-pay-here lot will usually take it back because it's better to keep you paying on something than have you walk away from a worthless car.

    The failing high pressure fuel pumps are indeed pretty common for most N73 drivers. It's mostly caused due to a faong membrane inside the pumps. But there are alot of sellers out there selling revised pumps for 350$/ea or so.

Well it all depends on how you take care of your car tbh, i think ppl that buy toyotas (etc.) just don't care about service intervals (I'm a carguy who loves every build, as long as it has a purpose)

    5:30 As someone who owns and works on BMW’s, NEVER go to the dealership for parts especially for a car that old. I did one search on eBay for the fuel pumps, and I found multiple OEM lightly used or new examples for around $500 or even a bit less than that. Also if you were to get another BMW I’d recommend the E38 740i or 750i. I got my 740 around 2-3 years ago, and I put about $8k into it for new parts and a transmission rebuild. It has run with no lights on ever since. The most I’ve done to it is an oil change. If you were to go that route, I’d also recommend a facelifted model between 2000-2001

    May I suggest you get some nice pictures of the cars you really have a passion for the frames are much less costly than the radiator cap.

    Just a heads up anyone looking for a 2006-2008 BMW 750, it’s not as bad is it sounds if you’re mechanically inclined. Most of the work is workable for the newbie mechanic. The $5000 fuel pump he’s talking about could be bought for $300-$500 a pair. Not OEM but good enough for the life of the car.
    If you go to the BMW forums, you’ll actually understand how cheap it actually is to own. BUT!!! If you’re not mechanically inclined at all, it’ll be expensive. I’ve owned my 2006 750Li for 5 years and 90k KMs (50k miles approx). It hasn’t cost much more than my 2007 Accord and it costs less than my 2007 Avalanche (truck).
    It really is a nice car and you have to own one to actually appreciate the simplicity of it. There’s a bunch of electronics inside but the electronics don’t really fail. If it does, it’s likely an amplifier, alternator or battery replacement.
